I went with my family for my 60th birthday weekend and we were there with dogs on a very wet cold weekend. The team at the hotel especially Emily made us feel extremely comfortable and went out of her way to ensure we were looked after.

Kevin,

If you have a dog, this is the best pet friendly Inn you could ask for.

I very comfortable place to stay, the room was small, but it is what it is which I accept the bathroom was good though I don't like those roll top baths but that personal; preference. The room need a desk and chair yes I was on business to you might expect me to say that, but it always handy to have a chair to sit in especially if your wife is using the bathroom.

Everything was excellent, the room was very tastefully decorated, very good quality fittings, always very well cleaned. The breakfasts were exceptional, with lots of choice for me as a fish eating veggie. The Eggs Benedict (with smoked salmon) was delicious. However the evening menu was a little bit veggie light. One or two more non fish veggie/vegan options would have been nice, but maybe most of their customers eat meat.
We loved the vintage/quirky furniture in the bar/sitting rooms, and the original features/log fires gave a lovely warm old country house feel to the Inn, all very considered and interesting.
The location is exceptional, with many walks from the Inn.
The staff were very friendly and efficient, making our stay a pleasure, as they went out of their way to be most helpful.
The only negative; in the summer/busy times parking might be a problem as it is quite limited.
All in all a very cosy place to stay, and a bonus for us as our dog came too.

The staff were really friendly, the food was superb and the ale was fab! Loved the real fires and all the dogs!t

What travellers love about this location

“The staff were very welcoming and helpful, they didn't mind the dog being with us at meal times, lots of other dogs there to. We went on one of thier suggested and planned 3 hour walks, which was lovely.
The only thing I can say against them was the shower wasn't hot at 7pm. I was explained that lots of guests have showeres around that time and that is the reason.so a suggestion is to have a shower earlier or later maybe!!
The other thing was the bedding was white and with a dog maybe not the best colour. I understand that digs shouldnt go on the beds anyway, but ours is very excited and can't always be helped. Other than that all great. We Will definitely go Again.”

“I can't recommend this place highly enough. This recommendation comes slightly begrudgingly as I'd quite like to keep knowledge of this gem to myself, but it wouldn't be fair on the staff and owners who deserve the highest possible rating. I visited for four nights as a solo traveller and it couldn't have been more perfect, from the location to the decor to the comfort to the food to the staff. Don't bother looking anywhere else nearby, just book it!”

100% verified reviews

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This lets us know that our reviews come from real guests, like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or quiet room than someone who’s stayed at the property before?

We want you to share your story, both the good and the bad. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinion and experiences, which are critical in helping guests make well-informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, and are treated with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after being moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

Once a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We will use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content as well as the property replies to that content.

We will allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is that of a distributor of feedback from both guest and property.

Guidelines and standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc...).
